Trade matters PwC UK

A year ago Paul George opened this podcast series by looking at what we could expect from the Brexit negotiations and how UK trade would be affected. Now, with a year to go until the UK exits the EU, he is rejoined by Sir John Grant, former Permanent Representative of the UK to the EU, and former UK trade negotiator Phil Brown, alongside Emily Khan from our Trade and Investment Hive, to discuss the progress made so far and what may happen in the months ahead.

In our latest episode, Paul George hosts a discussion on the future of regulation and what it could look like once the UK leaves the EU. Paul is joined by PwC's Michael Moore, Senior Adviser on Brexit, Jo Pisani, UK Pharma and Life Sciences Consulting Lead, and Head of Trade at the British Chambers of Commerce, Anastassia Beliakova. How does the current regulation work, what might change? Where are the challenges and opportunities and is there anything we can do to prepare now?

In the third podcast in our series, Paul George hosts a discussion on the future of borders as the UK prepares to leave the EU, featuring PwC's Jo Bello, global head of Indirect Tax And Customs Duties, Julia Onslow-Cole, global head of Immigration and Legal Markets leader and Andy Key, who leads on law enforcement, borders and security for our government team. What could the borders look like, where are the challenges and opportunities and is there anything we can do to prepare now?

In the second podcast in our series we talked about the trading relationship between Canada and the US and what we here in the UK can learn from that experience ahead of leaving the EU. What was the process like getting there? What role did industry play? And is it still a good deal?

In the first in a series of podcasts, we discuss unpicking the changes Brexit is bringing to the UK's arrangements for international trade. What are the practicalities and legalities of the UKs separation from the EU in terms of trade arrangements. What are the mechanisms of negotiating a new deals with EU or WTO? And what about transitional arrangements? What's the time frame and how long will it all take?
